SDL_RELEASE(3)

✨ SDL_RELEASE ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the SDL_RELEASE(3) page from the SDL3 FUNCTIONS manual 💖 this one's short and sweet, it's giving "tiny macro, big safety energy", and we're gonna read it together fr fr 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_RELEASE — a wrapper around Clang thread safety analysis annotations. no cap, that's literally the whole job description 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <SDL3/SDL_mutex.h>

#define SDL_RELEASE(x) \
  SDL_THREAD_ANNOTATION_ATTRIBUTE__(release_capability(x))

that's it, that's the macro ✨ copy it exactly, bestie, don't go freestyling the backslash 🙈

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the description is lowkey a "go read the docs" moment — it says please see:

https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSafetyAnalysis.html#mutex-h

like, that's the link to the Clang Thread Safety Analysis mutex section, and that's where the real tea is 🍓 go sip ☕

👑 AVAILABILITY 👑

this macro is available since SDL 3.2.0. so if you're on anything older, it's not giving what it needs to give 😭 upgrade era, periodt.

and that's the whole page, bestie!! you ate, you understood a thread-safety macro, main character energy only 🌈
